Stop reading those Psychology Today articles. They just muddy the waters. I think people are more likely to lie to protect someone rather than advantage themselves. At least this has been my experience among my inner circles. Oh, and sometimes kids lie to protect themselves; i.e., "No, Mom. It wasn't me."

Loving your stories. Miss both of you. Where’s the kindness in America? Gotta look for it.

Barbara, I understand where you are coming from. But I am learning that we must first look to ourselves. I threw away a lot of friendships over who voted for or defended the former President. Was it higher ground or my lack of kindness...I continue to wonder. On the brighter side...let me recommend a NetFlix video a friend recently recommended to me... “Amend”. It is a multipart documentary which tells the story of the 14th Amendment yesterday and today. At once painful and hopeful it reminds us that we are ever evolving.

the skeptic in me would have kept going and ignored the man thinking that he was going to pick pocket me and why isn't he wearing a mask?. Oh, I forgot you have Onix, the attack dog!

I watch criminal minds

“Evil can’t be scientifically defined: it’s an illusory moral concept that doesn’t exist in nature. Its origins and connotations have been inextricably been linked to religion and mythology.”

“You’d be surprised how many killers do what they do because of their parents.”

We don’t take Onix to the Mercado and I didn’t watch Criminal Minds. I found it to scarey.

I had to watch criminal minds cause that's where Shaemar Moore went after he left The Young and The Restless! I got hooked.
